Red Sox agree to one-year contracts with 25 players amidst ongoing extension discussions
On Monday, the Red Sox agreed to one-year pacts with 25 pre-arbitration players, ensuring that the entire 40-man roster is under contract for the upcoming season.
The players in question are Wilyer Abreu, Brennan Bernardino, Isaiah Campbell, Triston Casas, Kutter Crawford, Bobby Dalbec, Jarren Duran, Romy Gonzalez, Wikelman Gonzalez, Vaughn Grissom, David Hamilton, Tanner Houck, Joe Jacques, Zack Kelly, Bryan Mata, Chris Murphy, Luis Perales, Ceddanne Rafaela, Pablo Reyes, Justin Slaten, Enmanuel Valdez, Brandon Walter, Greg Weissert, Josh Winckowski, and Connor Wong.
The Major League minimum is $740K this year, but the Sox determine pre-arbitration salaries based on service time, so Houck ($770K) and Reyes ($764K) are the highest-paid of the group, followed by Casas, Crawford, Dalbec, Duran, Winckowski, and Wong, who will each make $760K. Bernardino will be paid $756K, with the remaining players earning between the league-minimum and $749.5K.
These salary agreements don’t preclude the Sox from continuing to extend pre-arb players, as they did last week with Brayan Bello. They’ve had conversations with Casas and Houck, among others, about longer-term deals.
